PREFACE 


In  presenting  this  work  to  the  citizens  of  Kendall  County,  we 
desire  to  express  our  thanks  for  their  very  liberal  patronage,  and  for 
their  courteous  treatment  of  our  agents  in  giving  information  for  this 
work.  This  is  the  first  work  of  this  kind  ever  published,  and  we 
have  been  at  a  loss  many  times  to  know  just  what  would  be  most  bene- 
ficial for  the  purposes  desired,  and  in  the  most  condensed  form.  It 
was  our  original  intention  to  make  the  descriptions  more  meagre,  and  as 
in  all  other  Directories  make  our  profits  in  inserting  advertisements. 
But  from  the  unusually  liberal  subscriptions  given  us,  and  at  the 
request  of  many  prominent  citizens,  we  concluded  to  dispense  with 
advertisements,  and  make  the  work  one  to  ornament  the  library.  Two 
important  features  of  a  work  of  this  kind  are  accuracy  and  freshness. 
To  insure  these  we  have  had  an  unusually  large  force  of  trusty  men, 
who,  we  think,  have  done  all  that  possibly  could  be  done,  and  we  now 
put  the  first  Biographical  Directory  into  the  hands  of  our  subscribers 
in  Kendall  County,  hoping  it  will  prove  to  be  equal  to  their  ex- 
pectations, and  of  inestimable  value  to  them. 


HISTORY  OF  KENDALL  COUNTY. 


The  title  of  that  portion  of  the  territory  now  embraced  in  Kendall 
County,  lying  south  of  what  is  known  as  "  the  Indian  boundary  line,"  was 
acquired  by  the  United  States  from  the  Indians,  about  the  year  1810,  and 
was  the  cause  of  a  very  serious  misunderstanding  between  the  govern- 
ment and  the  Indians. 

The  government  desired  a  wagon  road  from  Chicago  to  Rock  Island, 
to  which  the  Indians  did  not  object;  a  treaty  was  had,  but  instead  of  a 
mere  wagon  road,  the  treaty  covered  a  magnificent  strip  of  land  twenty 
miles  wide,  across  the  whole  State  of  Illinois.  The  deceit  thus  practiced 
by  the  white  man  caused  the  massacre  of  the  garrison  at  Chicago,  in 
August,  1812.  The  title  to  that  portion  of  the  territory  embraced  in  the 
county  lying  north  of  tne  Indian  boundary  line,  was  acquired  by  the  treaty 
of  1829,  held  at  Prairie  du  Chien  in  July  of  that  year,  which  was  the  cause 
of  as  great  a  misunderstanding  with  the  Indians  as  the  treaty  of  1810. 

EARLY  SETTLEMENT. 

The  first  settlers  in  this  county  were  mostly  from  the  States  of 
Tennessee,  Kentucky,  and  Virginia,  with  a  few  from  North  and  South 
Carolina.  They  were,  however,  of  a  roving  disposition,  remained  but  a 
short  time,  and  were  succeeded  by  pioneers  from  the  east. 

The  first  permanent  settlement  upon  Fox  River,  except  near  the 
mouth,  in  the  neighborhood  of  Ottawa,  and  the  first  in  Kendall  County, 
so  far  as  is  known,  was  made  by  Clark  Hollenback,  his  brother  George 
Hollenback,  William  Harris,  and  Ezra  Ackley,  and  their  families.  In  the 
Winter  of  1831  George  Hollenback  staked  off  the  first  claim,  which  now 
includes  a  portion  of  the  farm  of  Daniel  Pierce,  Esq.,  not  far  from  the 
site  of  the  village  of  Oswego.  He,  however,  abandoned  this  claim.  Re- 
tracing their  steps,  Clark  Hollenback  located  with  his  family  at  the  grove 
about  half  a  mile  northeast  of  Newark.  George  Hollenback  and  Mr. 
Ackley  arrived  at  the  grove,  which  now  bears  his  name,  on  the  18th  day 


10  HISTORY  OF  KENDALL    COUNTY. 

of  April,  1831,  and  were  joined  by  William  Harris  and  his  family  in  a  few 
days,  and  here  and  at  that  time  the  first  permanent  settlement  fairly  began. 

The  first  tree  cut  down  at  the  commencment  of  that  new  settlement 
was  by  Moses  Booth,  Esq.,  who  died  in  Big  Grove,  in  the  year  1845.  He 
came,  a  stranger  to  their  encampment,  with  his  ax  upon  his  shoulder,  and 
in  payment  for  his  supper,  lodging,  and  breakfast  (although  no  charge  was 
made)  volunteered  and  cut  down  the  first  tree,  and  then  went  on  his  way. 
The  first  house  was  a  log  one,  built  by  George  Hollenback,  in  the  Sum- 
mer of  1831. 

Before  a  year  from  the  date  of  the  settlement,  the  first  birth  was  a 
pair  of  twins,  at  the  house  of  Mr.  George  Hollenback,  the  eldest  of  whom, 
by  only  a  few  minutes,  (George  M.  Hollenback,  Esq.,  now  living  near 
Millbrook)  became  the  first  white  child  born  in  the  county. 

The  first  marriage  was  that  of  Mr.  Harris'  eldest  daughter,  Nancy,  to 
Mr.  Edward  G.  Ament. 

INDIAN  TROUBLES. 

N 

In  the  Spring  of  183-1,  the  Sauk  Indians,  conceiving  or  pretending  that 
they  had  been  cheated  or  otherwise  wronged  by  the  treaty  at  Prairie  du 
Chien,  crossed  the  Mississippi  River  at  Fort  Armstrong  (now  Rock  Island) 
and  demanded  satisfaction  for  their  grievances  of  General  Atkinson,  who 
was  then  stationed  at  that  point.  Considerable  force  was  exhibited  on 
the  part  of  General  Atkinson,  but  in  order  to  conciliate  them  and  cause  no 
dissatisfaction,  several  thousand  dollars'  worth  of  provisions,  consisting 
mostly  of  flour  and  pork,  was  turned  out  to  them  by  the  government,  upon 
which  they  became  apparently  satisfied,  and  recrossed  the  Mississippi  to 
their  own  homes,  some  where  in  the  present  State  of  Iowa.  In  the  Spring 
of  1832  they  again  demanded  satisfaction  for  grievances,  and  the  com- 
mandant at  Fort  Armstrong  notified  the  then  governor  of  the  state  in 
regard  to  the  threatened  hostilities  ;  but  it  took  the  messenger  a  long 
while  to  reach  the  capital,  and  it  took  much  longer  for  the  governor  to 
call  out  and  equip  the  militia,  and  before  any  considerable  force  could  be 
interposed  between  the  Indians  and  the  settlement,  the  blow  had  fallen. 
This  portion  of  the  country  had  belonged  to  the  Pottawatomie  Indians 
from  time  immemorial,  and  they  had  not  yet  removed  from  the  country. 
The  chiefs,  although  professing  friendship  for  the  white  people,  were  also 
friendly  with  the  hostile  Indians,  who  were  Sauks  and  Foxes.  When  the 
Indians  crossed  the  Mississippi  they  passed  up  the  north  side  of  Rock 
River,  while  General  Atkinson,  with  the  United  States  forces,  passed  up 
from  Fort  Armstrong  on  the  south  side  of  the  same  river  until  he  arrived  at 
Dixon's  Ferry,  where  for  a  time  he  stopped,  upon  learning  of  the  defeat 


HISTORY  OP  KENDALL  COUNTY.  11 

of  Stillman  the  day  before  (the  15th  of  May,  1832)  ;  from  this  point 
Major  Stillman  or  General  Atkinson  dispatched  a  young  man  by  the  name 
of  Holley,  and  two  others,  for  the  settlement  on  Fox  River,  but  they 
never  reached  their  destination,  and  were  supposed  to  have  been  murdered 
by  the  Indians,  as  the  same  day  the  Indians  arrived  at  the  mouth  of  Rock 
Creek,  at  which  place  it  was  proposed  to  hold  a  council  with  the  chiefs  of 
the  Pottawatomies.  During  the  time  the  council  was  in  session,  the  Pot- 
tawatomie  Chief  Shabona  and  his  friends  could  not  be  drawn  into  the  war. 
Knowing  that  the  council  could  sit  but  a  few'hours  at  farthest,  and  that 
danger  would  then  threaten  the  new  settlements,  for  whom  he  professed 
friendship,  Shabona  secretly  dispatched  his  sister's  son,  a  trusty  young 
Indian,  by  the  name  of  Peppers  or  Pepys,  with  instructions  to  proceed  to 
George  Hollenback's  house,  as  it  was  the  nearest,  and  give  him  warning. 
The  young  man,  fearing  he  might  be  followed,  went  to  Clark  Hollenback's 
house,  four  miles  in  a  contrary  direction.  Mr.  Hollenback  was  absent ; 
but  his  son  Thomas,  seeing  the  only  chance  for  saving  the  lives  of  his 
uncle's  family  was  in  immediate  action,  rode  at  full  speed  a  perfectly  un- 
broken colt  to  his  uncle's  house,  and  gave  the  alarm.  The  wagon-box 
was  set  upon  the  wagon,  the  horses  harnessed  and  hitched,  and  while 
Mr.  Hollenback  hurried  to  Ackley's  and  Harris'  houses  to  give  the  warn- 
ing, a  few  necessary  articles  were  placed  in  the  wagon.  It  was  now  late 
in  the  evening.  Mr.  Hollenback  and  his  family,  Peter  Bolinger,  who 
was  at  this  time  a  member  of  his  family,  Mr.  Ackley  and  his  wife  and 
their  two  children,  with  Mr.  Harris'  family,  placing  the  women  and 
small  children  in  the  wagon,  the  larger  children  and  men  on  foot,  started 
to  make  their  escape,  pursuing  an  easterly  course.  On  account,  how- 
ever, of*  the  straying  of  the  horses  of  Mr.  Harris,  and  the  absence  of 
himself  and  his  two  sons  in  search  of  them,  Mr.  Harris'  family  had  to 
escape  on  foot,  and  Mrs.  Harris'  father,  old  Mr.  Combs,  who  was  sick  in 
bed,  had  to  be  left  to  the  mercy  of  the  Indians.  In  their  flight  their 
numbers  were  augmented  by  Mr.  Harris,  who  joined  his  family  the  next 
day,  Mr.  E.  G.  Ament,  who  was  Mr.  Harris'  son-in-law,  his  brother 
Hiram,  Mr.  Morton  who  lived  with  Mr.  Ament,  Stephen  West,  an  old 
Frenchman  Basil  Lamsett,  better  known  as  Peter  Specie  (or  Pecie 
as  he  called  himself),  Keeler  Clark  and  his  brother  William  O.  Clark. 
After  hardships,  trials  and  hair-breadth  escapes  from  hostile  Indians, 
they  reached  Plainfield. 

Mr.  Bolinger,  Mr.  Cooper,  and  a  young  man  from  Hickory  Grove 
immediately  returned  to  the  rescue  of  old  Mr.  Combs,  whom  they  found 
unharmed,  and  brought  him  to  Plainfield.  The  Indians,  as  he  informed 
them,  finding  him  helpless,  had  placed  food  and  water  within  his  reach, 
and  had  otherwise  treated  him  kindly. 


12  HISTORY  OF  KENDALL  COUNTY. 

Mr.  Ackley  did  not  remain  in  Plainfield  with  the  remainder  of  his 
neighbors,  but  that  afternoon  the  families  of  Mr.  Dougherty  and  Mr. 
Selvy,  who  had  established  themselves  at  the  Aux  Sable  Grove,  passed  by 
Plainfield  on  their  way  to  the  Wabash.  Mr.  Ackley  and  his  family  joined 
them  and  proceeded  to  the  Wabash  country,  and  was  soon  in  a  place  of 
safety. 

Upon  arriving  at  Plainfield  some  buildings  were  torn  down,  and 
before  night  a  very  decent  stockade  had  been  erected,  a  military  company 
organized,  and  Chester  Smith  was  chosen  captain. 

About  a  week  after  this  Mr.  Payne,  a  Dunkard  preacher,  while  at- 
tempting to  reach  his  family  at  Ottawa,  was  murdered  by  the  Indians. 

The  settlement  on  Indian  Creek  was  more  unfortunate  than  that  on 
Fox  River.  It  consisted  of  three  families  :  Davis,  Hall,  and  Pettigrew, 
and  two  millwrights  who  were  preparing  to  build  a  mill.  On  the  21st  of 
May  they  were  surprised  by  the  Indians,  and  an  indiscriminate  butchery 
of  all  the  persons  in  sight  was  commenced.  Eighteen  of  the  white  people 
were  killed,  two  of  Mr.  Hall's  daughters  were  carried  into  captivity,  one 
small  boy,  son  of  Mr.  Hall,  alone  escaped.  The  Misses  Hall  were  taken 
to  Wisconsin,  where  their  captors^traded  them  to  the  Winnebago  Indians 
for  forty  horses,  and  they  were  finally  ransomed  by  the  United  States 
Government  for  three  thousand  dollars.  They  were  kindly  and  humanely 
treated  by  the  Indians  during  their  captivity  of  six  months. 

About  a  week  after  the  arrival  of  this  little  band  at  Plainfield,  a 
company  of  forty  men,  under  the  command  of  Captain  John  Naper  of 
Naperville,  came  from  Chicago  to  Plainfield,  and  made  arrangements  for 
their  removal  to  Chicago,  as  the  stockade  at  Plainfield  was  not  safe  and 
too  small  to  contain  the  people.  The  establishment  at  Plainfield  was 
therefore  broken  up  and  the  people  removed  to  Chicago,  where  they  re- 
mained in  comparative  ease  and  security  until  the  12th  of  June,  when 
the  lookout  of  the  garrison  discovered  a  number  of  sails  down  the  lake, 
which  proved  to  be  the  long-looked-for  United  States^ forces  under  the 
command  of  General  Scott,  hastening  for  the  defense  and  protection 
of  the  frontier  people.  Upon  the  vessels  entering  the  harbor  it  was  an- 
nounced that  that  dread  scourge,  the  cholera,  was  aboard.  In  less  than 
an  hour  from  that  time  every  person,  with  but  two  exceptions,  were  ready 
to  leave,  teams  all  loaded,  and  train  ready  to  start.  They  left  Chicago 
in  hot  haste,  and  returned  to  Plainfield,  where  they  remained  until  the 
hostile  Indians  were  driven  from  the  country  and  peace  fully  restored. 

The  last  depredations  by  the  Indians  in  this  vicinity  were  committed 
on  Sunday,  about  the  middle  of  June,  in  the  year  1832,  when  two  men, 


HISTOBY  OF  KENDALL    COUNTY.  13 

named  Schermerhorn  and  Hazelton,  while  on  their  way  to  visit  their 
house  near  the  old  mission,  were  killed  in  the  morning,  and  Mr.  Beres- 
ford,  in  the  afternoon  of  the  same  day,  while  picking  strawberries.  The 
last  seen  of  him  he  was  flying  for  his  life  with  Indians  in  close  pursuit. 

It  is  believed  that  no  person  was  killed  within  what  is  now  the 
limits  of  Kendall  County.  Indians  burned  all  the  houses  in  the  vicinity 
except  George  Hollenback's. 

During  the  year  1833  immigration  began  to  pour  into  the  country, 
and  a  year  or  two  later  surplus  grain  and  other  products  began  to  find 
their  way  to  the  market  at  Chicago,  which  was  still  a  small  village. 

Buying  and  selling  claims  was  at  this  time  a  most  fruitful  source  of 
speculation,  and  so  continued  up  to  the  financial  troubles  of  183T,  after 
which  that  traffic  ceased. 

The  cholera  was  fatal  to  many  of  the  soldiers  under  Scott's  com- 
mand OH  the  march  after  leaving  Chicago,  and  it  is  said  that  the  graves 
of  three  of  these  soldiers  were  seen  and  known  for  years  by  the  early 
settlers  in  the  vicinity  df  Little  Rock. 

The  Summer  of  1833,  the  Indians  having  been  driven  from  the 
country,  the  month  of  August  found  the  .-various  families  who  were 
stationed  in  Plainfield  returning  to  the  respective  homes  from  which 
they  had  originally  come.  Mr.  Harris'  and  Mr.  Hollenback's  families 
repaired  to  Ottawa ;  from  thence  Mr.  Harris  went  to  the  neighborhood 
where  he  had  wintere'd  in  1830-31 ;  and  in  the  month  of  September  Mr. 
Hollenback  and  his  family  returned  to  Ohio,  from  whence  he  had  moved 
to  Illinois  in  1829 ;  old  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Combs  accompanied  them.  Mr. 
Hollenback  and  a  young  man  named  John  Perry  returned  to  Illinois  in 
the  Spring  of  1833,  and  that  summer  raised  a  crop.  He  then  returned  to 
Ohio  and  removed  his  family  the  second  time  to  Illinois. 

Mr.  Ackley  also  returned  and  occupied  the  claim  he  left  during  the 
Indian  troubles.  Mr.  Harris  did  not  return  to  his  claim  at  the  grove,  but 
sold  it  to  John  Matlock,  father  of  West  Matlock,  Esq.,  and  he  in  turn 
sold  it  to  Robert  Ford,  who  subdivided  it.  Mr.  Harris  then  settled  at 
Long  Grove,  and  remained  there  until  his  death. 

Ezra  Ackley  died  in  1810  ;  Clark  Hollenback  in  1844 ;  Rebecca,  wife 
of  Wm.  Harris  about  1846  ;  Sophia,  wife  of  George  Hollenback  in  1861 ; 
George  Hollenback  in  1863  ;  William  Harris  in  1865. 

We  are  greatly  indebted  to  George  M.  Hollenback,  Esq.,  for  the 
foregoing  facts  in  regard  to  early  settlement  and  Indian  troubles  of  this 
vicinity.

ORGANIZATION. 

Kendall  County  was  so  named  from  Amos  Kendall,  who  was  Post- 
master General  under  General  Jackson.  The  county  was  organized  in 
the  year  1841,  from  three  townships  of  Kane  County  and  six  townships 
of  LaSalle  County,  and  was  under  the  control  of  a  board  of  commissioners 
elected  each  year,  (the  first  of  which  met  and  organized  April  28,  1841) 
together  with  three  probate  justices  of  the  peace,  viz. :  Royal  Bullard, 
Norman  Dodge,  and  Almon  Ives. 

The  township  organizations  were  adopted  in  the  year  1849,  when  a 
Board  of  Supervisors,  one  from  each  township,  .was  elected,  in  whom  the 
control  of  the  county  was  vested.  .The  first  Board  met  on  May  22,  1850, 
composed  of  E.  Morgan,  Oswego  Township  ;  James  McCellarn,  Bristol 
Township  ;  Archibald  Sears,  Little  Rock  Township  ;  Thomas  Finnic,  Fox 
Township ;  J.  K.  LeBaron,  Kendall  Township  ;  William  D.  Townsend, 
Na-au-say  Township  ;  A.  Jordan,  Franklin  Township  ;  H.  Moore,  Lisbon 
Township ;  and  H.  G.  Wilcox,  Big  Grove  Township. 

The  county  contains  an  area  of  three  hundred  and  twenty-one  square 
miles,  of  which  one-sixth  is  wooded,  and  the  remainder  prairie.  , 

It  is  watered  by  the  Fox  River,  which  traverses  the  northern  and 
northwestern  portions  of  the  county,  and  by  many  large  creeks.  The 
general  character  of  the  surface  of  the  country  is  that  of  an  undulating 
prairie,  with  the  timbered  portion  either  in  isolated  groves  or  skirting 
the  principal  streams.  Sloughs,  or  flat,  damp  meadows,  frequently  oc- 
cupy the  hollow  between  the  high,  rolling  prairies,  but  are  not  often  of 
any  considerable  extent. 

The  soil  of  the  timbered  tracts  is  generally  light-colored,  some  times 
sandy  or  gravelly  clay.  On  the  prairies  the  soil  is  mainly  a  dark-colored 
mold.  The  depth  of  this  soil  varies  from  one  to  three  feet. 


18  HISTOKY  OF   KENDALL   COUNTY. 


GEOLOGICAL,  N 

Of  the  older  formations  we  have  the  following  named,  in  descending 
order  : 

1.  Goal  measure,  underlying  a  small  area  of  not  more  than  three  or 
four  miles  in  the  extreme  northwestern  corner  of  the  county. 

2.  Niagara  group,  buff,  drab,  and   brown  impure  limestone  with 
frequent  nodules  of  chert.     Aggregate  thickness  in  this  county  probably 
between   fifty  and  seventy  feet,  occupying  a  considerable    area  in   the 
northern  and  northeastern  portion  of  the  county. 

3.  Cincinnati  group,  gray,   and  bluish  limestone,  with   green   and 
blue  shades.     Total  thickness  not  over  two  hundred  feet,  occupying  a 
considerable  area  lying  south  and  west  of  that  underlaid  by  the  Niagara 
group,  equal  in  extent  to  one-third  of  the  whole  superficial  area  of  the 
county. 

4.  G-alena  and  Trenton  Limestone,  porous,  yellowish  limestone,  with 
small  bluish  beds  near  the  base,  and  beds  of  passage  into  the  next  for- 
mation below.  Thickness  estimated  at  about  two  hundred  feet.    Occupies 
all  that  portion  of  the  county  which  has  not  already  been  described  as 
underlaid  by  the  more  recent  formations. 

5.  St.  Peters  Sandstone,  very  incoherent,  white  sandstone,  brought 
up  by  anticlinals,  so  soft  as  to  be  easily  excavated  at  some  points  with  a 
common  spade,  occupying  an  area  of  not  more   than  one  or  two  square 
miles,  in  the  western  part  of  the  county. 

It  will  be  seen  that  Kendall  County  is  well  supplied  with  building 
stone,  although  the  finer  qualities  suitable  for  cut  stone  and  ornamental 
work  are  generally  wanting.  Limestone  suitable  for  the  manufacture  of 
quicklime  is  found.  Sand  is  abundant. 

Springs  containing  sulphuretted  hydrogen  occur  in  the  southeastern 
portion  of  the  county.  The  largest  and  best  known  are  on  the  land  of 
Mr.  L.  House.  Small  deposits  of  peat  are  also  found. 

VILLAGES. 

There  are  ten  villages  in  this  county. 

YORKVILLE,  the  county  seat,  situated  in  Kendall  Township,  on  the 
south  bank  of  the  Fox  River.  The  court  house  was  commenced  here  in 
1862,  and  completed  in  the  Fall  of  1864.  The  county  records,  however, 
were  removed  from  the  former  county  seat  of  Oswego,  in  June,  1864, 
before  completion  of  the  court  house. 


HISTORY  OF   KENDALL   COUNTY.  19 

The  original  $own  was  laid  out  by  Edward  W.  Brewster,  on  the  2d 
of  June,  1843.  An  addition  was  laid  out  by  J.  P.  &  E.  A.  Black  on  the 
4th  of  June,  1863. 

The  village  was  incorporated  July  8,  1873.  First  board  of  trustees 
were  elected  July  31, 1873,  viz  :  M.  E.  Cornell,  president ;  J.  A.  Beeman, 
William  Graham,  J.  Needham,  Carlos  Stevens,  and  D.  G.  Johnson. 

Population  500. 

BRISTOL,  lying  on  the  north  bank  of  Fox  River,  directly  opposite 
Yorkville.  The  original  town  was  laid  out  by  John  B.  Hall  and  James 
McClellan,  on  the  29th  of  May,  1843.  Several  additions  were  laid  out 
by  J.  M.  Gale,  on  June  27,  1857,  and  April  30,  1864 ;  also  by  Lyman 
Bristol  and  J.  McClellan,  July  15,  1845,  and  by  J.  McClellan,  December 
5,  1849.  Population  500. 

PLANO,  situated  in  Little^Rock  Township,  on  the  main  line  of  the 
C.  B.  &  Q.  R.R.,  is  quite  an  important  manufacturing  point.  Here  are 
located  "the  Marsh  Harvester  Works"  of  Gammon  &  Deering.  Their 
first  machine  was  built  in  the  year  1860,  and  in  1864  twenty-five  machines 
were  manufactured  and  sold.  At  the  present  time  they  are  working  a 
force  of  over  three  hundred  men,  and  turning  out  five  thousand  machines 
a  year,  which  are  being  used  in  all  parts  of  the  West,  and  bear  a  reputa- 
tion second  to  none  in  the  country.  The  town  was  laid  out  on  April  17, 
1853,  and  the  first  house  was  built  by  William  Ervin,  the  same  year. 

The  C.  B.  &  Q.  R.R.  was  completed]to  this  point,  and  the  first  engine 
reached  there,  August  23,  1853.  It  remained  the  terminus  of  that  road 
for  some  time.  When  the  town  was  incorporated  the  first  trustees  were : 
S.  R.  Miner,  president ;  S.  P.  Applegate,  J.  W.  Miller,  A.  N.  Beebe, 
clerk  ;  and  D.  C.  Lincoln.  Upon  the  resignation  of  S.  R.  Miner,  A.

BILLS  OF  EXCHANGE  AND  PROMISSORY  NOTES. 

No  promissory  note,  check,  draft,  bill  of  exchange,  order,  or  note,  negotiable  instrument 
payable  at  sight,  or  on  demand,  or  on  presentment,  shall  be  entitled  to  days  of  grace.  All

on  the  day  previous,  and  should  two  or  more  of  these  days  come  together,  then  such  instrument 
shall  be  treated  as  due  on  the  day  previous  to  the  FIRST  OF  SAID  DAYS.  No  DEFENSE  can  be 
made  against  a  negotiable  instrument  (ASSIGNED  BEFORE  DUE)  in  the  hands  of  the  assignee 
without  notice,  except  FRAUD  was  used  in  obtaining  the  same.  To  hold  an  INDORSER,  due 
diligence  must  be  used  BY  SUIT,  in  collecting  of  the  maker,  unless  suit  would  have  been  UNAVAIL-

laterals, except  with  the  descendants  of  brothers  and  sisters  of  the  intestate;  and  in  no  case  shall 
there  be  any  distinction  between  the  kindred  of  the  whole  and  the  half  blood.

ABSTRACT   FROM  ILLINOIS   STATE  LAWS.  25 

when  the  debtor  is  the  head  of  a  family  and  resides  with  the  same,  necessary  beds,  bedsteads, 
and  bedding,  two  stoves  and  pipe,  necessary  household  furniture,  not  exceeding  in  value  $100, 
one  cow,  calf,  two  swine,  one  yoke  of  oxen,  or  two  horses  in  lieu  thereof,  worth  not  exceeding 
$200,  with  the  harness  therefor,  necessary  provisions  and  fuel  for  the  use  of  the  family  three 
months,  and  necessary  food  for  the  stock  hereinbefore  exempted  for  the  same  time  ;  the  bibles, 
school  books  and  family  pictures  ;  the  family  library,  cemetery  lots,  and  rights  of  burial,  and 
tombs  for  the  repositories  of  the  dead  ;  one  hundred  dollars'  worth  of  other  property,  suited  to 
his  condition  in  life,  selected  by  the  debtor.  No  personal  property  is  exempt  from  sale  for  the 
wages  of  laborers  or  servants.  Wages  of  a  laborer  who  is  the  head  of  a  family  can  not  be  gar- 
nisheed,  except  the  sum  due  him  be  in  excess  of  $25. 

DEEDS  AND  MORTGAGES. 

To  be  valid  there  must  be  a  valid  consideration.  Special  care  should  be  Taken  to  have  them 
signed,  sealed,  delivered,  and  properly  acknowledged,  with  the  proper  seal  attached.  WITNESSES 
are  not  required.  The  acknowledgement  must  be  made  in  this  state,  before  MASTER  IN  CHAN- 
CERY, NOTARY  PUBLIC,  UNITED  STATES  COMMISSIONER,  CIRCUIT  or  COUNTY  CLERK,  JUSTICE  OF 
PEACE,  or  any  COURT  OF  RECORD  having  a  SEAL,  or  any  JUDGE,  JUSTICE,  or  CLERK  of  any  such 
Court.  When  taken  before  a  NOTARY  PUBLIC,  or  U.  S.  COMMISSIONER,  the  same  shall  be  at- 
tended by  his  OFFICIAL  SEAL,  when  taken  before  a  COURT  or  the  CLERK  thereof,  the  same  shall 
be  attended  by  the  SEAL  of  such  Court,  and  when  taken  before  a  JUSTICE  OF  THE  PEACE  residing 
out  of  the  county  where  the  real  estate  to  be  conveyed  lies,  there  shall  be  added  a  certificate  of  the 
COUNTY  CLERK  under  his  seal  of  office,  that  he  was  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  in  the  county  at  the 
time  of  taking  the  same.  A  deed  is  good  without  such  certificate  attached,  but  can  not  be  used 
in  evidence  unless  such  a  certificate  is  produced  or  other  competent  evidence  introduced.  Ac- 
knowledgements made  out  of  the  state  must  either  be  executed  according  to  the  laws  of  this  state 
or  there  should  be  attached  a  certificate  that  it  is  in  conformity  with  the  laws  of  the  state  or 
country  where  executed.  Where  this  is  not  done  the  same  may  be  proved  by  any  other  legal  way. 
Acknowledgements  where  the  HOMESTEAD  rights  are  to  be  waived  must  state  as  follows  :  "  In- 
cluding the  release  and  waiver  of  the  right  of  homestead." 

NOTARIES  PUBLIC  can  take  acknowledgements  any  where  in  the  state. 

SHERIFFS,  if  authorized  by  the  mortgagor  of  real  or  personal  property  in  his  mortgage,  may 
sell  the  property  mortgaged. 

In  the  case  of  the  DEATH  of  GRANTOR  or  HOLDER  OF  THE  EQUITY  OF  REDEMPTION  of  real 
estate  mortgaged,  or  conveyed  "by  deed  of  trust  where  equity  of  redemption  is  waived,  and  it 
contains  power  of  sale,  must  be  foreclosed  in  the  same  manner  as  a  common  mortgage  in  court. 

ESTRAYS. 

Horses,  mules,  asses,  neat  cattle,  swine,  sheep,  or  goats  found  straying  at  any  time  during 
the  year,  in  counties  where  such  animals  are  not  allowed  to  run  at  large,  or  between  the  last  day 
of  October  and  the  i$th  day  of  April  in  other  counties,  THE  OWNER  THEREOF  BEING  UNKNOWN, 
may  be  taken  up  as  estrays. 

No  person  not  a  HOUSEHOLDER  in  the  county  where  estray  is  found  can  LAWFULLY  take  up 
an  estray,  and  then  only  UPON  or  ABOUT  his  farm  or  place  of  residence.  Estrays  should  not  be 
used  before  advertised,  except  animals  giving  milk,  which  may  be  milked  for  their  benefit. 

Notices  must  be  posted  up  within  five  (5)  days  in  three  (3)  of  the  most  public  places  in  the 
town  or  precinct  in  which  estray  was  found,  giving  the  residence  of  the  taker  up,  and  a  particular 
description  of  the  estray,  its  age,  color,  and  marks  natural  and  artificial,  and  stating  before  what 
justice  of  the  peace  in  such  town  or  precinct,  and  at  what  time,  not  less  than  ten  (10)  nor  more 
than  fifteen  (15)  days  from  the  time  of  posting  such  notices,  he  will  apply  to  have  the  estray  ap- 
praised. 

A  copy  of  such  notice  should  be  filed  by  the  taker  up  with  the  town  clerk,  whose  duty  it  is 
to  enter  the  same  at  large,  in  a  book  kept  by  him  for  that  purpose. 

If  the  owner  of  estray  shall  not  have  appeared  and  proved  ownership,  and  taken  the  same 
away,  first  paying  the  taker  up  his  reasonable  charges  for  taking  up,  keeping,  and  advertis- 
ing the  same,  the  taker  up  shall  appear  before  the  justice  of  the  peace  mentioned  in  above  men- 
tioned notice,  and  make  an  affidavit  as  required  by  law. 

As  the  affidavit  has  to  be  made  before  the  justice,  and  all  other  steps  as  to  appraisement,  .etc., 
are  before  him,  who  is  familiar  therewith,  they  are  therefore  omitted  here. 

Any  person  taking  up  an  estray  at  any  other  place  than  about  or  upon  his  farm  or  residence, 
or  without  complying  with  the  law,  shall  forfeit  and  pay  a  fine  of  ten  dollars  with  costs. 

Ordinary  diligence  is  required  in  taking  care  of  estrays,  but  in  case  they  die  or  get  away  the 
taker  is  not  liable  for  the  same.

SUGGESTIONS  TO  THOSE  PURCHASING  BOOKS  BY  SUBSCRIPTION. 

The  business  of  publishing  books  by  subscription  having  so  often  been  brought  into  disrepute 
by  agents  making  representations  and  declarations  not  authorized  by  the  publisher  ;  in  order  to 
prevent  that  as  much  as  possible,  and  that  there  may  be  more  general  knowledge  of  the  relation 
such  agents  bear  to  their  principal,  and  the  law  governing  such  cases,  the  following  statement 
is  made : 

A  subscription  is  in  the  nature  of  a  contract  of  mutual  promises,  by  which  the  subscriber 
agrees  to  pay  a  certain  sum  for  the  work  described ;  the  consideration  is  concurrent  that  the 
publisher  shall  publish  the  book  named,  and  deliver  the  same,  for  which  the  subscriber  is  to  pay 
the  price  named.  The  nature  and  character  of  the  work  is  described  in  the  prospectus  and  by  the 
sample  shown.  These  should  be  carefully  examined  before  subscribing,  as  they  are  the  basis  and 
consideration  of  the  promise  to  pay,  and  not  the  too  often  exaggerated  statements  of  the  agent, 
who  is  merely  employed  to  solicit  subscriptions,  for  which  lie  is  usually  paid  a  commission  for  each 
subscriber,  and  has  no  authority  to  change  or  alter  the  conditions  upon  which  the  subscriptions 
are  authorized  to  be  made  by  the  publisher.  Should  the  agent  assume  to  agree  to  make  the  sub- 
scription conditional  or  modify  or  change  the  agreement  of  the  publisher,  as  set  out  by  prospectus 
and  sample,  in  order  to  bind  the  i  principal,  the  subscriber  should  see  that  such  conditions  or 
changes  are  stated  over  or  in  connection  with  his  signature,  so  that  the  publisher  may  have  notice 
of  the  same. 

All  persons  making  contracts  in  reference  to  matters  of  >his  kind,  or  any  other  business, 
should  remember  that  the  law  as  to  written  contracts  is,  that  they  can  not  be  varied,  altered  or 
rescinded  verbally,  but  if  done  at  all,  must  be  done  in  writing.  It  is  therefore  important-thai  all 
persons  contemplating  subscribing  should  distinctly  understand  that  all  talk  before  or  after  the 
subscription  is  made,  is  not  admissible  as  evidence,  and  is  no  part  of  the  contract. 

Persons  employed  to  solicit  subscriptions  are  known  to  the  trade  as  canvassers.  They  are 
agents  appointed  to  do  a  particular  business  in  a  prescribed  mode,  and  have  no  authority  to  do 
it  in  any  other  way  to  the  prejudice  of  their  principal,  nor  can  they  bind  their  principal  in  ;  ny 
other  matter.  They  can  not, collect  money,  or  agree  that  payment  may  be  made  in  anything  else 
but  money.  They  can  not  extend  the  time  of  payment  beyond  the  time  of  delivery,  nor  bind 
their  principal  for  the  payment  of  expenses  incurred  in  their  business. 

It  would  save  a  great  deal  of  trouble,  and  often  serious  loss,  if  persons,  before  signing  their 
names  to  any  subscription  book,  or  any  written  instrument,  would  examine  carefully  what  it  is  ; 
if  they  can  not  read  themselves,  should  call  on  some  one  disinterested  who  can.

TO  MEASURE  CORN  IN  THE  CRIB. 

This  rule  will  apply  to  a  crib  of  any  size  or  kind.  Two  cubic  feet  of  good,  sound,  dry  corn 
in  the  ear  will  make  a  bushel  of  shelled  corn.  To  get,  then,  the  quantity  of  shelled  corn  in  a 
crib  of  corn  in  the  ear,  measure  the  length,  breadth  and  height  of  the  crib,  inside  of  the  rail  ; 
multiply  the  length  by  the  breadth,  and  the  product  by  the  height  ;  then  divide  the  product  by 
two,  and  you  have  the  number  of  bushels  of  shelled  torn  in  the  crib. 

To  find  the  number  of  bushels  of  apples,  potatoes,  etc.,  in  a  bin,  multiply  the  length,  breadth 
and  thickness  together,  and  this  product  by  8,  and  point  off  one  figure  in  the  product  for  deci- 
mals. 

TO  ESTIMATE  THE  AMOUNT  OF  HAY  IN  A  MOW. 

Find  the  number  of  cubic  feet  by  multiplying  the  length  by  the  breadth,  and  that  product 
by  the  height,  and  allow  512  cubic  feet  for  a  ton. 

The  above  rule  no  doubt  approximates  as  closely  as  possible  to  a  correct  standard,  the  num- 
ber of  cubic  feet  required  for  a  ton,  varying  a  little  on  account  of  the  different  degrees  of  pres- 
sure to  which  the  hay  has  been  subjected,  and  also  with  the  quality  of  the  hay  as  regards  fineness. 


MISCELLANEOUS   INFORMATION. 


INTEREST  TABLE. 

A  SIMPLE  RULE  FOR  ACCURATELY  COMPUTING   INTEREST  AT  ANY   GIVEN   PER  CENT.  FOR 

ANY  LENGTH  OF  TIME. 

Multiply  the  principal  (amount  of  money  at  interest)  by  the  time  reduced  todays ;  then 
divide  this  product  by  the  qtiotient  obtained  by  dividing  360  (the  number  of  days  in  the  interest 
year)  by  the  p£r  cent,  of  interest,  and  the  quotient  thus  obtained  will  be  the  required  interest. 

ILLUSTRATION.  Solution. 

Require  the  interest  of  $462.50  for  one  month  and  eighteen  days  at  $462.50 

6  per  cent.     An  interest  month  is  30  days  ;  on£  month  and  eighteen  days  .48 

equal  48  days.     $462.50  multiplied  by  .48  gives  222,0000 ;  360  divided 
by  6  (the  per  cent,  of  interest)  gives  60,  and  $222.0000  divided  by  60 
will  give  you  the  exact  interest,  which  is  $3.70.     If  the  rate  of  interest  °)3oO\     185000 
in  the  above  example  were  12  per  cent.,  we  would  divide  the  $222.0000        7~]  t

by  30  (because  360  divided  by  12  gives  30)  ;  if  4  per  cent.,  we  would  i&O 
divide  by  90  ;  if  8  per  cent.,  by  45  ;  and  in  like  manner  for  any  other 
per  cent.  420

A  FEW  REMARKS 


BY  THE   EDITORS   OF 


ews. 


DEAR  READER: 

We  scorn  to  advertise ;  the  publishers  of  this  Directory 
kindly  insisted  upon  our  composition  occupying  a  page  of  this 
book,  to  give  it  an  air  of  respectability,  etc.,  etc".,  for  which  we 
have  condescended  to  allow  them  a  small  consideration,  etc.,  etc 

How  fortunate  that  we  were  born  just  in  time  to  publish 
a  newspaper  upon  the  first  centennial  year  of  our  glorious 
Republic !  and  how  fortunate  it  is  that  so  many  of  you  have  an 
opportunity  of  subscribing  for  it !  Just  think  of  it,  dear  reader, 
and  while  you  are  thinking  of  it,  we  will  tell  you  what  our  plan  is. 

We  are  possessed  with  great  ambitions ;  we  want  to  publish 
the  best  paper  ever  known.  At  present  we  are  publishing  the 
largest  paper  in  the  county — giving  news  from  all  parts  of  the 
county  and  the  state,  from  all  the  states,  and  the  whole  world 
besides ;  give  a  story,  a  few  poems,  recipes  for  the  women  folks ; 
stories  for  the  little  folks,  and  market  reports  for  the  old 
patriarchs. 

However,  it  is  not  enough  to  publish  the  largest  paper  ;  we 
want  to  publish  the  best ;  have  the  neatest  made  up  sheet ;  the 
best  corps  of  correspondents  ;  the  most  interesting  news  ;  do  the 
best  writing  ourselves  ever  heard  of ;  and  make  the  paper  the 
best  agent  possible  for  the  cultivation,  enlightenment  and  sobriety 
of  our  fellow  man. 

And  now^ watch  us,  and  see  if  we  don't.
